First Noah, then Moses.... who’s next?
I am anxiously awaiting the 12 part anthology on the discovery of gravity. I hear it’s gonna be really heavy man...
Typical atheistic take. In reality, despite being shown unmistakable evidence of the reality of God and His love and power towards then, the Israelites (too often like us) immediately whined and complained, when tested for a short time, even accusing Moses of contriving to to kill them!
If anyone was irrational it was them, but Moses is a profound example of a brave leader (you go face Pharaohs and make such claims to do what you neverread or saw God do) and pastor and pastoral care, manifesting stedfast sacrificial unrequited love, even to being willing to be damned if it would save Israel.
While also being meek (power under control) when challenged, literally in dependance and faith in almighty God, but not weak, as in Egypt he took matters into his own hands out of zeal for his people.
His words and actions at the end when the Israelites "provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips," (Psalms 106:33) - and which i have done - was uncharacteristic of him, and cost him (but later he was in the mount with Christ), yet show me any pastor who has endured such a whining double-minded multitude who has done better, save for the Lord Himself. Glory to Him.
